A
A hydra bud contains genetic material from its two parents.
B
A hydra bud is genetically identical to the parent hydra.
C
A hydra bud has different mutations than the parent hydra.
D
A hydra bud has half as much genetic material as the parent hydra.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The hydra is a very small, simple animal that lives in water. Hydras reproduce asexually by budding, a process in which a bud breaks off an adult hydra and floats away.

Detailed explanation-2: -In hydra, a bud develops as an outgrowth due to repeated cell division. Now the nutrition for bud growth is provided by the parent hydra. The development showed by bud starts to develop small tentacles and a mouth. A full-grown bud detaches from the parent body and becomes an independent organism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hydra generally reproduces asexually. They do this through budding. A bud begins to form on the tubular body of an adult Hydra. The bud develops a mouth and tentacles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hydras usually reproduce asexually by “budding”-a new hydra starts as a “bud” forming on the side of a hydra’s body; it grows and eventually breaks away as a clone of the original. Some species reproduce sexually, releasing sperm into the water that can reach eggs on another hydra.
